Tamil Nadu govt moves Supreme Court against Madras High Court order banning cow slaughter
Tamil Nadu has approached the Supreme Court challenging a Madras High Court order that imposed a complete ban on cow and calf slaughter. The state argues the high court's directive contradicts the Tamil Nadu Animal Preservation Act, 1958, which allows slaughter of older, unfit cattle under specific conditions. The high court's ban was issued following a Public Interest Litigation.
